    Luv everything about you Mel! Believe it or not there are some soldiers of Hip-Hop out here that share the same sentiments. It’s disgusting what’s going on with this music. I never thought I would be embarrased to be from Brooklyn! Now New Yorks identity is so tainted (have you heard Jim jone’s album…..that shit aint hip-hop.) I don’t care what borough you are from New York had that boom-bip…..that kick and snare……not that bullshit 808 and fingersnaps!

    Anyway…..just glad to know that you keepin’ it thorough and don’t stop…..hip-hop will be ressurected!

    I ran into Mel in Brooklyn a few years ago. I got half way up the Fulton Mall and had to turn back and give him some dap and tell him he was the baddest out there. Without him there would be no X’s and Jigga’s

    In my eyes there are only two true rap pioneers
    Mele Mel and Dr Dre, Mele mel is the reason hip hop got so big, and dr dre pioneered the g-funk and gangsta movement

    For some reason, I was sitting at the computer thinking of the past. I remembered working out at Jack Lalanne in the Bronx, (Riverdale), and I remembered you. What I thought of you back then, I think of you now, you are one concieted sob, you think of yourself and yourself only. You are so lame. I didn’t like you then, and I sure as hell don’t like you now, I wish you success because you are a brother and I think human, but your attitude needs work. I hope you seek God and find the help you need.
